Belden Unveils The 10GX Pre-Terminated Cabling System



A ROBUST CATEGORY 6A SOLUTION THAT TRULY DELIVERS ON THE PROMISE OF PRE-TERMINATED CABLING SYSTEMS

RICHMOND, IN - Belden (NYSE: BDC), a world leader in the development of signal transmission products for the enterprise, industrial, data center, building management, broadcast, and security markets, is pleased to unveil its 10GX Pre-Terminated Cabling System, an easy to configure cabling solution designed for data centers and high-bandwidth applications where time, performance and reliability are critical.

The new Belden 10GX Pre-Terminated Cabling System delivers rapid deployment coupled with guaranteed Category 6A performance and headroom, without the need for tradeoffs or compromise in performance and reliability.

Belden's innovative "Pre-Term Made Easy" solution brings a new level of ease and convenience to cabling system design, ordering and installation, enabling users to deploy their high-performance 10 Gigabit networks with optimal speed and efficiency. With simple planning, easy ordering and rapid delivery, Belden's new 10GX Pre-Terminated Cabling System can reduce installation time and labor costs by as much as 90
percent. In addition, this "green" system provides for plug-and-play installation and component reusability, resulting in lower installed cost and less waste.

"This is a unique proposition for the high-performance data networking market; a pre-term system that truly delivers the promise of pre-terminated cabling systems: dramatically reduced installation time, cost-savings, and the reliability and performance of factory terminations - all without compromises or trade-offs," comments Stephane Bourgeois, Director of Product Management, Networking Solutions.

Proven modular components are the cornerstone of the Belden 10GX Pre-Terminated Cabling System. These include the 10GX Pre-Terminated Cable Assemblies and the 10GX RJ45 Modular Couplers.
